Frank:
I have used most of the major tools out there for migrations, and have
found the best combination of tools to be Aelita's Exchange Migration
Wizard (www.aelita.com), and Exmerge to do the data xfer if you have large
info stores.
My client now is a large law-firm, so Aelita's ability to sync calendar /
permissions, real-time free/busy, and public folders is a huge plus. It
also does directory sync which is very valuable. The data transfer rate
on their mailbox sync is disappointing (about 150 MB / hr), but all of the
competitors (e.g. Quest, NetIQ use exmerge as their underlying engine
anyway.
I would be happy to discuss if you would like.
I hope this helps.
